I bought these boots for their low price and claimed durability. They are exactly what I was hoping for and I was very happy with them on my 9 day (140 mile) hike this summer. You still have many kilometers ahead of you. However, I'm new to mountaineering and if you're looking for boots that will last for years and thinking about going on a hike longer than me, I'd recommend spending the money on the Salomon 4D 2 GTX boots.
